Do you sell end loaded models?
Each company has their own version of an end loaded bat. We do our best to achieve the drop weight of -2.3 or heavier with our end loaded models where as our balanced models are typically within -2.3 to -3. End load bats are an extra charge and may take a few extra weeks before shipping to make. If you like your bat a little heavier you will love the end load Baum!
We made the switch after over 20 years of making ash Baum Bats to Maple Baum Bats due to a few reasons. Since Maple is a denser wood than ash, it means better performance (pop), more durable, and bigger sound than the old ash Baum! There is a reason why Maple is the most common wood type in Major League Baseball and Baum Nation is now reaping the benefits.
